Portugal considers wine tourism to be a priority for the development of tourism in the country, which is why an Action Programme for Wine Tourism 2019-2021 has been drawn up as a starting point for the affirmation of wine tourism in Portugal, boosting gastronomy, wines and the national tourism assets identified in the Tourism Strategy 2027 (ET27).
In this national context, the Association of Municipalities of the Douro and Tâmega (AMDT), as part of the action objectives assigned to its BTinova project, has encouraged innovation and competitiveness in the region, based on the promotion of endogenous resources, materialised in the “Verde Sentido” Wine and Gastronomy Route, which, together with dozens of tour operators in the region, has promoted this area as an eco-tourism destination that stands out for the quality of its landscape, gastronomy and Vinho Verde wines.
The event has been structured with this great goal in mind: to raise the profile of the Douro and Tâmega regions, and to confirm them as a wine tourism territory of excellence, benefiting from their proximity to Porto, one of the European capitals of the Great Wine Capitals.
In addition to a day of conferences, another day will be dedicated to visits/experiences by the speakers, in order to create synergies and partnership relationships that will help the Douro and Tâmega to establish itself as a destination of excellence in the field of wine tourism.
